Texas DPS seeks help in identifying fatal hit and run driver

State authorities are asking for help in finding a driver in a fatal hit-and-run accident that occurred Sunday night in Hunt County.

According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, Charles William Sleeman of Farmersville had exited his Toyota Tundra to check on a vehicle he was towing when he was fatally struck about 8:50 p.m. Sunday on westbound Interstate 30 near County Road 4108.

The truck that struck Sleeman did not stop, and police believe the driver may not have realized that he hit someone, authorities said.

The hit-and-run driver’s vehicle is described as a white or light-colored truck and box trailer.
